The 2014 Beach Yoga Bliss Summer retreat will be held on Kelley's Island September 12-14! Additional details coming soon!

The Yoga of Bob Marley, The Beatles & The Grateful Dead

"One love! One heart! Let's get together and feel all right." – Bob Marley

If you take a moment to think about those lyrics, you’ll believe that Bob Marley must have been a yogi at heart because those words have the exact same meaning as namaste. The light inside of me honors the light inside of all beings … let’s get together and live in peace!

Bob Marley wasn’t the only musician with the heart of a yogi, and if you listen closely to the lyrics of some of our most popular musicians, you will find the core teachings of yoga.

Join Maria Santoferraro for three different two-hour musical vinyasa journeys into the music and, yes, yogic teachings of Bob Marley, The Beatles, and The Grateful Dead.

Each class will start with a brief discussion about the music and yogic messages of one featured artist, followed by an all-levels vinyasa flow to their music, and class will end with a peaceful guided meditation.

Saturday April 12| 6:00 – 8:00 PM | The Grateful Dead

(Tie-Dye apparel encouraged)

Friday, May 16 | 6:30 – 8:30 PM | The Beatles

Bob Marley (March 29) - stay posted for additional dates to be added!

Since The Grateful Dead were masters of improvisation, we’ll be sure to explore the beauty and freedom of flowing freestyle asana in each of the classes and, if you like, some yoga mat dancing. Grab your tie-dye t-shirt, and join us for one or all three workshops: $20 each
